Barrieâ€™s Bryan Cameron (Kings 3/07) scored the tie-breaking goal early in the third period and the Colts held on for the win. Game 3 is Sunday in Barrie. Going back to the regular season, Hutchings has points in six consecutive games.

This was a convincing win for Vancouver, led by Craig Cunningham's (undrafted) two goals and three assists. The 5-9 forward had 97 points during the season and has seven already in two playoff games. Game 3 is Tuesday in Kamloops.

In other WHL news, East No.8 seed Moose Jaw has taken both early games from No.1 Calgary in Calgary.

Sudbury scored first in the game when Sointu set up John McFarland on the power play at 1:13. From there, it was all Barrie as the Colts scored the gameâ€™s next eight goals. They had a snowman on the scoreboard at the 11-minute mark of the second period. Sudbury clawed back to 8-4 early in the third before Barrie scored three more times. Alex Burmistrov, who is expected to go in the top-10 in this summerâ€™s draft, was First Star for Barrie with two goals and two assists. Hutchings and Barrie were knocked out of the first round last year, with Hutchings registering seven points (three goals) in five games. This was Sointuâ€™s OHL playoff debut â€“ and a good one statistically, especially considering he was even despite 11 goals against. Sointu now has 12 points in his last eight games.

[i]D [b][url=/mark-barberio]Mark Barberio[/url][/b], MCT: 2-0-2, +2, 2 PIM, 2 SOG[/i]

In a game broadcast on NHL Network, Barberio and Moncton defeated top-seeded St. John to end the regular season on a winning note. Barberio scored twice, the first on the power play when he pinched in from the point and buried a cross-crease pass. The second came while shorthanded into an empty net. Moncton finishes with the leagueâ€™s third-best point total at 102, two points behind Drummondville and seven behind St. John. Theyâ€™ll play Cape Breton in the first round. After a slow start to the season in the goal department, Barberio finished with a bang, scoring 14 times after Christmas. Barberio set career highs in goals (+1), assists (+12), points (+14), and plus/minus (+31). He finished fifth in the Q in points among defensemen, sixth in goals, fifth in assists, and seventh in plus/minus. Barberio and Moncton should have a long playoff season ahead, at least until the conference finals, which should be vs. the same Sea Dogs they defeated Sunday night.

With Niagaraâ€™s loss, Sudbury was a second point away from avoiding Barrie in the Eastâ€™s first round, but it was not to be as Sointuâ€™s former team scored in overtime. The Wolves, who had 59 points on the year, will indeed play Alex Hutchings and Barrie, who finished the year 57 points better than Sudbury. Sointu finished the regular season very strong, scoring nine points in his last seven games.

Speaking of Hutchings, he finished the year fourth in the OHL in goals (tie - 47), 14th in points (81), first in shorthanded goals (11; 7 more than anyone else), first in game winning goals (tie â€“ 11), second in insurance goals (tie â€“ 7), and fifth in plus/minus (+44). Overall, Plymouthâ€™s Tyler Seguin (48-58-106) and Windsorâ€™s Taylor Hall (40-66-106), who will battle for the No.1 draft spot this summer, finished tied for the league lead in points.

The Giants, who have struggled the last two weeks, played ninth place Seattle for a chance to enter the playoffs on a win streak, but were foiled by T-Birds goalie Calvin Pickard (2010 eligible), who stopped 51 shots in a First Star performance. Wright, a noted two-way player who skated for Tampa Bay of the NHL for most of the season because of his two-way abilities, finished his regular season with Vancouver with a surprising minus-3 rating. Wright and Vancouver will have to regroup as they enter the playoffs against seventh-seeded Kamloops. In other WHL news, Calgaryâ€™s Brandon Kozon (Kings 6/09) won the league scoring title by one point over Reginaâ€™s Jordan Eberle (Oilers 1/08), 107-106.
